I AM SO EXCITED I CAN BARELY HOLD MY OWN EXCITEMENT OVER THIS!
I am currently in Law school, as some of you may know, but i'm nearing the end, and i'm working on my very first ACTUAL process! And it's the most exciting part of a criminal process: The moment when you do your final allegations. It's the very last part of the criminal process before you can appeal, and it's the moment where EVERYTHING GOES. After this, the judge has to make his judgement, and then either the defense or the accusation can appeal.
Nevermind that the guy is probably guilty of robbery, and in fact has already been convicted of robbery before, i TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY UTTER SMASHED the testimony of the victims, and i don't know if i should be so pleased about this but i AM.
I thought i would feel bad about defending someone that's probably guilty, but now all i can feel is the intellectual accomplishment that comes with the fact that i will possibly create enough REASONABLE DOUBT even if it was a thought LOST CASE!
Everyone that's read my piece of testimony-smashing says i am being VERY convincing, and that i'm discrediting the witnesses well enough that the process might well close with an absolution! Or, at least, open up the possibility of an appeal later on the road.
So yeah, that's me being happy while playing Devil's Advocate. Hooray for me and my now ever growing evil karma as a to-be lawyer!
